Everybody reading these comments and considering the implications needs to go read Blindsight by Peter Watts. It's a first contact story set in the near-ish future, and really goes into consciousness and intelligence. Very thought provoking if you thought this comment chain was interesting.

Just putting it out there, but the National Weather Service has a free API here.

You have to discover it somehow, and that's what they're asking for help with.

Sounds from the example like OP doesn't want to miss out on media they might enjoy just because they're not hanging out with young people anymore. Seems like a reasonable thing to want.

Anyone know the song?

Ahh yeah, that sounds right. When you use the official GUI on Linux it creates an IPV6 killswitch connection along with the VPN connection. Sorry, I don't have any better answers for ya there.

I believe there's a way to do it using iptables, but I'd have to look into it more again. You might get more experienced people answering if you search for "openVPN force traffic through VPN iptables" or something similar. Let me know if that helps!

I can't speak about pfsense or router-based configs, I have zero experience there. The Proton website does have openVPN and wire guard manual setup instructions though. You could try it with a free account first to make sure everything works before committing to paying for it. If you're interested, I can show you the changes I made to the openVPN config file to allow split tunneling. Again though, I don't know how that translates to pfsense.

The Linux client isn't perfect, but you can download the openVPN config file and set up individual server connections yourself. It's all laid out on their website, fairly simple. If you know what you're doing, you can also edit the config files to allow IP-based split tunneling.

Proton has their own cloud storage called Proton Drive. If you buy the top VPN tier I think it includes all of the premium Proton services, Drive included. I think it's like 500 gigs for a single user account and 2 terabytes if you get the family account.

Good info, thank you!

My understanding of the issue with static discharge is not necessarily that everything must be at the same grounded voltage as your home's circuitry per se, but that your body's voltage (static electricity potential) must be the same as the component's voltage. You can accomplish this by "grounding" yourself to the component by touching bare metal away from any IC components before handling it. You can also use anti-static wrist straps that essentially do the same thing continuously by maintaining a connection between your body and the component you're handling.

I am open to someone who knows more about this chiming in to correct me here.
